Ebony Elegance

Ebony Elegance Scarves


 I bought a package of lovely yarn that is black with gold trim. 
This type of yarn makes the most beautiful scarves! 
I was showing the first one I'd made to someone and they ordered four of them! 
So, I've been busy filling her order. 
Soon though I will have one in my Etsy shop and I'll write a post so that you all will know. 


I call this scarf: Ebony Elegance

Family Decor

Family Tree

A very dear friend celebrated her wedding anniversary but her wonderful husband had passed. 
So, we wanted to give her a special gift that celebrated their marriage as well as blessed her. 
What better than a family tree?! 


My mom and I went shopping at Home Goods and found this silver tree, see picture. 
It is large enough for our friend to hang the pictures of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.  
Next we went to Michaels and found small picture frames in their jewelry section, as well as rings to attach the pictures to the tree. 


 This is a very simple gift but it is also very special. 

 Besides the tree, picture frames, and small rings you will need jewelry pliers and your personal photos.

Packaged to Sell

Flower Pins


Recently, a friend told me she'd received several compliments on a crocheted flower pin I made for her. 
She said that if I gave her some, when people commented on how much they liked them, she'd tell them she had some to sell. 

I don't know how well they're selling but I had a lot of fun getting them ready!



Below are pictures of the process and the end result. 

I decided to cute cardboard into squares to give me a "foundation" as it were, to be my pin holder. Green material and grey felt were then selected to be glued over the cardboard. These made complimentary background covers. 


I had some fun making little price tags too!! 
There were papers, pens, and stencils all over the table!! 
Too much fun! 
 

 The end result!! So pretty!!

Comments On My Blog

Removed Comments

I recently had to remove a comment that had been posting using Google plus on my blog. 
It was disgusting and unnecessary! 
I am sorry if it offended any one. 
I have tried to take the necessary measures to correct and block this from happening again. 

This blog is for posting about my journey as a crafter, so comments not related to that will be removed.

Thank you for following and reading my posts!
